Because obviously, fascism is okay when "our" team does it.

If the Russian people want Putin "deposed" they can vote him out of office.

Again, not sure why you think him being deposed would "make the world better." Because Rachel Maddow and the CIA told you so?

Im in my late 40s, and im just flashing back to every ‘justified’ regime change and invasion for decades, every ‘weapons of mass destruction’ lie, every ‘evil communists’ trope bought and sold by politicians, journalists and people, and all the incredible suffering that followed

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

Who told you that? The CIA? Maybe the US should try minding its own business.

Pretty easy to sit here in comfort and say our military should invade other countries and kill civilians when we're sitting here cozy at home.

My whole life, advocating war has been fed to me as “the adult position,” akin to drinking your coffee black or reading the business section of the newspaper. Let’s be very clear — war is the childish nonsense of impulsive destructive idiots playing baby-brained video games with real human lives.

Thank you!

I remember when millions were in the streets in the run-up to the invasion of Iraq. I was one of them. Sadly, although I applaud their efforts, I am far, far too jaded to join them. It's truly depressing as fuck to realize you have zero influence over what your government does in your name.

I don't know how to alt text. I don't even know what "alt text" means. LOL. I have many talents. Tech is definitely not one of them.

Grosdoriane tweets: 'This is NOT what America is about. America is about *opens history book* uh oh *Frantically starts flipping though pages* uh oh. oh no. no no no. uh oh' 4:51 AM · May 25, 2019

"Now"?

Meanwhile, literal genocidal war criminals get standing ovations on the floor of Congress.

Truly the sheer level of ignorance of our long and storied history on display is staggering

The only thing remarkable about trump is that he does these things openly and without pretext.

He\Biden are the avatar embodiments of this country — mediocre racist old white men; liars, cheats, and bullies

A tweet from Mamdani that says - I was briefed this morning on the U.S. military capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro and his wife, as well as their planned imprisonment in federal custody here in New York City. Unilaterally attacking a sovereign nation is an act of war and a violation of federal and international law. This blatant pursuit of regime change doesn’t just affect those abroad, it directly impacts New Yorkers, including tens of thousands of Venezuelans who call this city home. My focus is their safety and the safety of every New Yorker, and my administration will continue to monitor the situation and issue relevant guidance.

Mamdani weighing in about #Venezuela.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

No, you're definitely suffering delusions. But good luck to you.

Not sure what "coming at you" "out of the side of my face" means. You posted on a public forum. Did you expect everyone to just agree with whatever you say? If so, may I suggest talking to a mirror?

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

Marco Rubio was confirmed 99-0 by the US Senate one year ago this month.

This all seems pretty unbecoming of a FIFA Peace Prize winner

Well, of course it is. Look who their owner is.

People like you, with zero standards other than "they put a D after their name instead of an R" is why we keep getting progressively worse candidates on both sides, in each election cycle.

What exactly does that have to do with what I said?

If you don't understand that Trump is just the unvarnished reflection of what this country's "leaders" on both sides have always been, you're beyond help.

The DNC exists to protect the GOP

If any country's leader should be deposed and put on trial, it's Donald Trump. The accusations against Maduro are ridiculous. The supposed "drug cartel" he allegedly leads doesn't even exist. This is about US companies stealing Venezuela's oil.

Do you think Trump is the first president to do this?

We've been doing this kind of thing for decades. Trump is just doing it right out in the open.

"Have" turned?

We've been a violent rogue state for decades. Trump just isn't hiding it.

Pretty sure the US has been a violent rogue state for decades.

Trump is just ripping the mask off and not bothering to hide it.

This is for oil.

And where is our Congress? Awaiting further instructions from their oligarch masters, that's where.

Yeah, but CBS has always been in bed with the CIA.

Although yes, it's worse now.
